To all whomiz'tmdgico'ncernf I Be it known that we, HENRY 'Tsns'r, a

' citizen of the United States, and resident of Llark Ridge, in the county-of Passaic and State of New ersey, and F RANK. M. ASH- LEY, a citizen of theU'nited States, and resident of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mixing and Beating Machines, of which the following is a specification. 7

Our invention relates to mixing and beat ing machines and the object of our invention is to provide a beater made of wire. and

a shank portion having a head to hold the ends of the wiresof the heater in such man:

i ner as to be easily connected to the wires or disconnected therefrom so that wires of different form may be used, depending upon the work to be done and also to make renewals in case a wire is bent or broken. I

A further object is to provide'a wire construction in which the wireof one unit will extend across the open'space between the wire of the adjacent unit in order tomore quickly and effectively provide the finished product.

Beferringto the drawings which form a part of this specification:

Figure 1 is a plan view of a construction embodying our invention, the cap of the wire holder being shown in cross sectionr Figure 2 is a vertical view, partly in section.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the cap portion of the wire holder, Figure' is a perspective view of the body portionof the wire holder;

Figure 5 is a plan view ofthe construc-- tion illustrated in Figure 4. i j

A indicates the body portion of the wire holder which consists of a metal casting having a threaded periphery A and aconical top portion B and provided with slots CCC, etc, the-depth of which is less in the conical portion B than the diameter of the wire to be held and the lower portion of which is at an even distance from the surface below thethreads so that the ends so that the co-acting threadD -in} the cap portion FD will notfbe stripped biiifnjhre'd when it is screwed onto the bodyfportion. \Yhenthe cap portion Dis jscrewed 'onto a the, body-".portion"A, lthef conical] sur-f' face D contacts with the ends of the wires at their sides and holds them firmly in place,'the conical surfaces B and D coming in contactand frictionally engag? ing to hold the partstogetherq E indicates the shank which is shown as formed integral with the body portion A but ifpreferred it may be made as a separate part and con-Y nected to the bodyportion by a screw thread 'oint vor in anyother suitable manneruf' The dotted linesgF indicate a receptacle, l and the path of the outer ends of the vwire 7oloops G-G-G,etc., are arranged to come close to the inner sides of thereceptacle in their travel.

Inthe present construction wei show tourfll' elements of wire, each being ,ai'duplicate'of; the other in theirgeneral form-but specifi+ cally different in that some have loops-at the bottom of less'width than others to perj-fj mit the wires ofone element to, come inf-a horizontal plane with the, middle, ofthej aldljacent element as for illusi .will cross the: middle. ofgj H the space I of wire:J iii-its. travel. fEacli' I wire unit,frtor illustration," shows that one having the loops G is bent in" such manner space of the tration, wire that itsinner loops Ge Gfletclextend. across the vertical centreaof the shank. l

and each is formed with av'erticalmember Y G G etc., respectivel which's'erves to stifi'en the beater. It is believed ,thatthe drawings will better illustrate the construction than awritten description and'there- .tore further description is deemed unnec-f j' V V v I v54 7 described our invention, we I claim as new and desire to secure by Letv essary. 7 Having thus ters Patent:

1. A beater-comprising a body'portioni' having a thread formed in its surfaceand;

slots intersecting said threadsya cap adapt;

ed to overlie said slots and having threads to engage the threads in the body portion.

2. A beater comprising a body portion having athread formed-in its surface and slots int-ersectlng said threads, a cap adapted to overlie-said slots-and having threads to engage the threads in the body portion, and beater units formed of Wire, the ends of which are placed in said slots and held in position by said cap.

8. A beater comprisinga body portion having a thread formed in its surface and slots intersecting saidthreads, a cap adapted' to overlie said slots andhaving threads to engage'the threads in the body portion.

and a plurality of units made of Wire suspended from said head, each of which is formed with loops Which overlap the loops in the adjacent unit.

4. A beater comprising a body portion having a thread'formed in its surface and slots intersecting said threads, a cap adapted to overlie said slots and having threads to engage the threads in the body portion and a plurality of units made of Wire suspended from said head, each of Which is formed with loopswhi'ch overlap the loops in the adjacent "unit and a shank formed integral with said body portion.

New York and Statev of New York, this.
